Do male cockatiels speak

Answer 1

Some have learned to mimic human words, but they do not understand their meaning.

cockatiels CAN talk. but it requires persistance and a lot of patients, there are a lot of theorys that if you record a tape of your voice and play it over and over again, this does work! but the cockatiel will get bored and only learn a couple of words. the other way is to cover the cage with something dark, and say phraises to it. or you could go under the blanket and talk directly to it, saying "good boy/girl" or "pretty parrot". i hope helped :DDD

Answer 2

Both male and female cockatiels are capable of talking.

However, it is generally acceptad that males are far better talkers than females. Male cockatiels tend to be louder and vocal. Females tend to be quieter ; you may notice that often your femail tiel "calls" out to you when you are in another room. She may tweet, squawk, whistle, and sometimes imitate other sounds. Very rarely, however, you do encounter femail tiels that can actually "talk."

It should be noted that if you are looking for a pet bird that talks, a cockatiel may not be the choice for you. Both males and females, even very vocal tiels, are not generally great at learning words like some other parrots or minah birds. They are, however, very good singers - they are rhythmical and learns to whistle some tunes if you are patient in teaching your bird.

Answer 3

Cockatoos imitate speech very effectively. However, while there are always some individual differences, generally they cannot "talk", as in stringing together meaningful sentences in reponse to stimuli.

Unfortunately, no. BTW they don't whistle either. Male cockatiels is the one that will or can be taught to talk and whistle.

Answer 8

Male cockatiels are adept at imitating sounds. They do not "speak", but they imitate sounds of people talking, and can therefore copy words.
